    Book SynopsisThe first great novel to imagine time travel, H. G. Wells’s The Time Machine (1895) follows its narrator on an incredible journey that takes him eventually to the earth’s last moments. When a Victorian scientist invents a machine that allows him to travel to the year A.D. 802,701, he encounters a highly evolved society of people called Eloi, for whom suffering has apparently been replaced by refinement and harmony. First impressions are misleading, however, and his discovery of the Eloi’s true relationship to the brutish Morlocks who lurk in tunnels beneath them leads him to a horrifying insight into the fate of mankind and its roots in his own time.

    Book SynopsisThe seminal masterpiece of alien invasion, The War of the Worlds (1898) conjures a terrifying, tentacled race of Martians who devastate the Earth and feed on their human victims while their voracious vegetation, the red weed, spreads over the ruined planet. After the novel’s hero finds himself trapped in what is left of London, despairing at the destruction of human civilization, he discovers that life on Earth is more resilient than he had imagined. Adapted by Orson Welles for his notorious 1938 radio drama and subsequently by many filmmakers, H. G. Wells’s timeless story shows no sign of losing its grip on readers’ imaginations.

    Book SynopsisDescribe una invasión marciana en la Tierra. Wells cuestiona la fe del hombre en su superioridad y la vanidad de creerse el único habitante del universo. A fines del siglo XIX, en pleno auge del positivismo, había una fe ciega en la ciencia y en los científicos. El hombre pensaba que era el único ser viviente en el universo, pero no era así: desde Marte, nuestros vecinos miraban el planeta Tierra con ojos codiciosos. Ellos habían entrado en la etapa del enfriamiento, y ya no tenían animales, ni plantas ni diferencia en las estaciones. Nosotros teníamos todo eso, y lo que no sabíamos era que ellos poseían una Inteligencia superior a la nuestra. Después de observarnos a diario, decidieron llevar a la práctica sus planes: comienza la invasión con el lanzamiento de extraños cilindros que parecen estrellas fugaces en el cielo. Vienen por nuestro planeta, vienen po

  • La máquina del tiempo

    2 in stock

    Book SynopsisAunque las novelas científicas de H. G. Wells fueron comparadas en su día con el trabajo de Jules Verne, el autor de La máquina del tiempo sentenció: En realidad, no hay ningún parecido literario entre las invenciones anticipativas del gran francés y estas fantasías. La máquina del tiempo encuentra más apropiada filiación con Jonathan Swift o con otras fantasías utópicas coetáneas, preocupadas de ideas políticas y debates sociales, como Erewhon, de Samuel Butler, o News from Nowhere, de William Morris. El futuro en el que desembarca el viajero temporal de Wells es una de las tierras imaginarias que poblaban la literatura de finales del siglo XIX, buscando subvertir la realidad victoriana.Wells trasciende la ciencia para hablarnos del desarrollo de la civilización, de la dominación del entorno, de la lucha de clases y, finalmente, del propio ocaso de la vida en el planeta.
